Problem 1.2
A1.-A7. All of these statements are all completetely acurate because they are all based on the survey, and they piont to the data. To support this, Look at the following: (1) People prefer T.V. to the total (simplified) with T.V. being 6, and the other 4, Radio. The total was 10, but the actual number of students surveyed was 100, so if you multiply 6 and 4 by 10, you get 60 and 40. Like 6+4=10, 60+40=100. (2) 6+4=10, and 60+40=100. (3) 60-40=20, and well, you get the point.
B. If I was writing a paper that was supposed to convince local merchants that they would get more people on Radio than T.V. and had to use one of the given statements,(1,2,3,4,5,6,or 7) I would pick number 6 because it onlytells what percent of the people like Radio and not T.V., because for all they know, at least 21% of the people could be neutral! (doesn't have T.V. or Radio.)
C. If I was a T.V. add dierector in the same situation as problem B, but with the reverse positions of T.V. and Radio, I would use statement 5 becaus it won't matter how many people like Radio, the number of people that like Radio×1.5= the number of people that like T.V.
Follow Up
Before I explain the follow up, please look at this table:
T.V.
Radio
15
2
1. For each statement in problem A, repeat the sentence pattern and replace the numbers with the ones in the table.
2. Our class data in similar to the Neilson survey because in both surveys, T.V won by a landslide. It is different because there was a different total number, the variables can't be simplified, etc.
3. I could manipulate the data by telling the merchants only the percent of people that litsen to Radio but not watch T.V.
